Nagatoshi Shiraishi of Farm Shiraishi can rightly be called the symbol of Iwaki’s energy. Not easily dicouraged and equipped with a carefree smile, his hardworking spirit is infectious. Chef Fukushima (Cross Wonder Dining) turns Shiraishi’s winter vegetables into a new genre, called ‘Wakan-Yosai.’ With the addition of father and son Manabu & Takashi Kondo from the Obori Soma-yaki pottery workshop Toukichirougama, with their unique philosophy, this edition of FoodCamp has a lot going for it!
